Jonathan,
If we start this (as a proof of concept I'm assuming until we get Toby's
ok) I would also like to initiate conversation on rebranding which was
recently brought up on this list.
Re-branding is something Toby always brought up but there wasn't any ideas
that really stuck out for him.
That re-branding can help sell the idea of a wordpress site.
I'd also like to see how complicated it would be to port the sharing
platform content over.

Red 7, thanks for the input. I agree a modern wordpress site with option
for a forum would be more attractive than just a bulletin board.
Are there any LMMS users out there that would like to start a site?
Hopefully with some work the sharing platform is portable to something
like wordpress so the web presence could all be wrapped together.

Hey guys,
I thought the whole idea of an entire website being on a SourceForge
platform was kinda weird. Most projects I've seen only host project
files and binary downloads on their SourceForge sites.
Personally, I have been using WordPress (on my own server) for a while
and I really like some of the features. The BBPress plugin would give
you the forum functionality and the rest of the site would contain
project information. The downloads could still be hosted on SourceForge,
as I think developers like that platform. Wordpress is fairly easy for
people to pick up so people without much coding experience wouldn't have
too much trouble getting used to it, thereby making it easier to have
more people in leadership roles.
The one thing I'd want to modify would be allowed upload file types.
We'd definitely want ".mmp" and ".mmpz" files on the allowed list.
Otherwise, people would have to zip them up every time, which would be a
pain.
If it was earlier in the season, I'd be willing to help out with this.
I've created a bunch of WordPress sites for other people, so I feel
comfortable with it. However, collage starts up in a couple weeks, so I
can't commit to anything.
Anyways, some ideas to think about! :-)
